Synopsis

An ambitious but untalented singer Yelena mistakes Kostya, a simple shepherd for a famous jazz band leader. They attend a swank get-together, but instead of a saxophone, he brings his pan-pipes as well most of the animals from his farm. But all is not lost. Yelena's long-suffering servant Anyuta (Lyubov Orlova), is a terrific singer. When she and Kostya discover each other, musical and romantic fireworks soon follow. The film was an enormous success and transformed Orlova into the first Soviet movie star.
